Sanders endorsed by former DNC chairman Kirk

Thursday’s dispute represented only the latest firefight between the Clinton and Sanders campaigns, which comes as Sanders has surged in polls of Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states to weigh in on the Democratic primary. A number of polls show Sanders ahead in New Hampshire. “My plan – break up the big banks, close the tax loopholes and make them pay their fair share”, Sanders says in the ad.

Clinton denied feeling nervous about the direction of her campaign on the NBC morning show Today, instead saying she was “excited about where we are”.

“I have a buddy who was with Obama last time who has been sending around links to recent stories and polling data that read the exact same as at this point in 2007 and 2008”, John Davis, a Clinton backer who was former Rep. Bruce Braley’s (D-Iowa) chief of staff, told Mashable.

“The unlimited amounts of money flooding our political system from a narrow and immensely wealthy slice of American society is the most pernicious internal peril threatening the fundamental tenets of economic, political, moral and social justice and, not least, the fairness and vibrancy of our representative democracy”, Kirk said.

In the ad, Mr. Sanders revisits the themes he excoriated Ms. Clinton over in a Wall Street reform speech he delivered in Manhattan last week.

As the countdown to the caucuses continues, 40 percent of Democrats say they could be persuaded to change their minds about their first choice candidate.

900 people turned out to see Sanders at the Spaulding Auditorium, another almost 500 filled an overflow room nearby.

“I had the privilege of serving briefly with Bernie Sanders in the United States Senate and I quickly learned that he is who he is”, Kirk said.

Hillary Clinton supporter Tom Vilsack guaranteed plenty of negative advertising against Bernie Sanders is coming Thursday in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

Critics have said Sanders has broken his pledge to steer clear of attacks during his campaign.

Although they objected to the lack of detail, the Clinton campaign staffers evidently had enough details to launch a harsh critique of Sanders’ concept of universal health care.

“I think the most important point to be made here is that Secretary Clinton and her campaign now know that she is in serious trouble and I think a candidate who was originally thought to be the anointed candidate, to be the inevitable candidate, is now locked in a very hard race here in Iowa. and in New Hampshire”, he said at a press conference.
